BTW I forgot to mention that this will be my new avatar forever! also I give you credit on my signature with a link to you page, so more people know your awesome art =)
Aww, I'm really, really flattered that you liked it that much! Thanks a lot! : ) You were great to work with and very understanding about questions/concerns, etc, so thank you! I'm very pleased to see that the results were to your liking.
Oh, actually, I very much appreciated yer vote! It is the thing that persuaded me to finally post my question to you (lol!) I'm pretty new to this art community, but there are several artist I notice every time I surf the museum threads. So I actually felt honored you liked my picture. I do very much like to follow your work.
it makes me think Yoshihiro Togashi's character designs. (If he added more of a feminine touch haha)
Those links are actually perfect. I'm thinking I might attempt to draw a picture in each set just to get a feel for it. (I'm preparing for the awkwardness lolz) I know what you mean about translating the mediums. I'll always do something traditionally and love it, but then I get stuck when I start to put it through a program lol. For me, there's always something strange about not actually looking at what my hands are doing, since in digital I'm staring at the screen instead. It's like this weird trust issue that I never got over (and often got critiqued about in school.) I can do more on paper than on a computer because it's almost like I can feel the textures, but I would love to have the option to do both.
It's so great that yer willing to share knowledge because what you can do is something I've always wanted to try! This is greatly helpful to me and I'm hoping to start updating my portfolio because I haven't experimented in years. I really just need to go into something I've never done and hope for the best so I'm glad I asked.
i just need to jump in and give it a shot and obviously gaining knowledge from people who do it well helps me to think outside of my little comfort box.
Thank you, thank you! Maybe if this goes better than I expect it to I'll post a thread about it. Lolz.
Aww, thanks! And you're welcome. Haha. Yeah, I'm still pretty much a newbie myself. I joined last September. I was really in shock with how huge this forum was. I got a push to join from a friend. Ironically, she hardly uses it at all and I'm here pretty much whenever I have free time. Funny how that worked out. But yeah, it's been a real honor and immeasurably humbling to see all of the amazing art talent on this forum. It's truly incredible. I love lurking in the museum and I get really happy when I see new threads for new artists. There's just so many styles and everything that it's a wonder to see each and every new one. And I'm not sure who Togashi is, but I'll have to look him up. XD
I'm glad to hear that was/will be of use to you! I know I used to get really frustrated when I would scan in full-colored stuff I did with colored pencils and the quality on the computer was just... not good. At all. Granted, things have come a LONG way in quality since way back then, but even so. I admit preference to digital coloring now if just because I would color so much with the pencils that I'd get constant blisters on my thumb and pointer finger and that would keep me at least half a week from picking up the pencils again. And yeah, the adjustment to tablets is really difficult. For the longest time, I used a mouse for digital art (HUGELY BAD IDEA. DON'T DO IT. I say this with the utmost sincerity, since although you can make beautiful things with mouse art, it is probably the
biggest factor in how I ended up with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). I still can't use a normal tablet well, but I got myself a tablet monitor so I can watch my hand and the screen at the same time. It feels more traditional that way. Those can be pretty expensive, though. I got the cheapest I could find out there and it was still about $600.
It's my pleasure to share! And I hope that experimenting takes you places! It inspired me so much last year when I started doing palettes that I had probably one of my most productive streaks in art ever. Sometimes I was doing up to 3 pieces a day because I just didn't want to stop and the creativity kept
flowing. Granted, I'm not saying it's magic and does that for everyone, but it's always possible. : ) I used to stay in my comfort area a lot, too, and I didn't feel like I grew much art-wise that way. Stepping out was kind of poetically like getting a breath of fresh, clean air.
Good luck with your portfolio and if you decide to make a thread, I'll be on the look-out for it!
Awesome! Keep that passion burnin girl! XD
Thanks a lot! I'll do my best! (And same to you! I love popping by your thread to see more of your stuff. Willow is adorable!)
tfw posted that at "9:11 AM" for my Timezone.
I'm a terrible person, help.
Hello Amissa, I've come to bother you again \o/
Yep, you're a terrible, terrible person! ...Come on, I'm just kidding. lol
Psh. It is no bother, even if you wish it was. Uh-huh. I know your type. You take
pride in bothering people. Well, I won't give you what you want!
